Plural or not?
Hi guys...Thank you for all the help you provide...I wish I could wield the english language as u do....
Here is my question. In English you have the following expression: A 15 year old girl, a 20 year old guy, and so on...Imitating this expression, i could write: a 2 meter tall man, a 90 minute long fight...and so on....Is it correct to use meter, minute, instead of the plural "minutes", "meters"... Thank you in advance for your help.
